A sad story. We don't know why the boy didn't make it to his Ferris Wheel ride, but the loss of such a young life is tragic. He was looking forward to life and couldn't wait until he was big enough to ride the roller coaster. Very poignant picture of the mother as she is now without her son. She is there to keep her memory of him. Best of luck in the contest. Great story in such a few words. judi

Drabble? To complement your drabble?
Hardly drabble. Short, maybe. But surely not drabble.
I don't know how I could properly review drabble.
Liable to get drabble all over me, should I endeavor to try.
Drabble indeed!
Best wishes

Oh, dear, I never saw this coming. Sean so wanted to be big enough to go it alone, and when he finally did it catapulted him into eternity.bwhat an entry! Good luck with this great but tragic story, Brett. Ulla:)))

This piece of flash fiction was so lovely and sad. I was sorry that his ride to the sky was his last. You told a complete and compelling story in just a few words.
Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

You told a good story in a very short space. The details were great. I liked "cotton-candy stickiness" and "Ashes sifted through her tear-covered fingers." It's a nice echo there.

This contest entry brought tears to my eyes. I'm positive the mom heard Sean's laugh of glee. I can't imagine any different. I know it's fiction, but I still need closure. Thank you for sharing this entry with us. It's very well written and filled with emotion. Good luck with the contest.
